My FP was damaged during flight on vaca down in Jonesboro Arkansas, found a local Hobby Store and tho didn't have parts for the Newer Heli, found this fun indoor beginner Scout. Sure are other favoreds out there but this one is carried at nearly every local hobby shop as well as the parts. Just 3 channel but very solid flyer, had numerous newer people flying this one with minimal misshaps. These light helis can be quite durable. RTF with everything, lipo, and even batteries for transmitter, which also charges the flight lipo battery, afraid it would tax the transmitter batteries bought spares but found not necessary after dozens of flights. In Jonesboro hobby shop was by the Old Navy, nice to be able to keep flying.

I like this one as well designed complete Ready To Fly, tho 3 channel still a great beginner indoor heli, as coaxial with dual main blades very easy to learn on, an excellent choice as available in most hobby shops.

Fly inside as handles easily, I do have a larger multi battery charger but the supplied transmitter charger also works well with numerous chargers very effective, several dozen charges possible makes it a complete compact unit.

Would an old guy like me with dumb thumbs,arthritis and completely unskilled be able to flyone of these out of box? Have tried other $40 dollar helis which demolished in less than 5 mins,no excuses I just have no experience. and little patience,and a wife who gets mad when I crash these things!!baron

I have Lupus, arthritus and I cant half see and I learned how to fly with a Scout. Bought replacement blades and never used them. The trick is to kill the power if you get into trouble and 99 times out of 100 you wont tear up anything. That one time out of 100 dont worry, every decent hobby shop has cheap replacement parts. My son and my friends are still flying it, probably has 200 or more flights on it. Best of luck to you.

Yep I got the little thing and have had a blast with it !! Just get it
out when the urge strikes and no big problems, lost the skids a time
or two, but just snapped them back on and continued having fun...
